It’s not perfect but we’re still streaming my 18 day old Anna’s hummingbirds living on my porch in Phoenix Arizona. They’re reaching peak cuteness in my opinion! youtube.com/@brianwilt1?si=y…

So stoked, #1 autonomous software + #1 vehicle manufacturer in the world "The entire process will take place under one roof, from assembling the base vehicle to integrating Waymo’s AV hardware."
Today, we’re announcing the next phase of our autonomous driving collaboration with @ToyotaMotorCorp to scale a fleet of bZ4X autonomous vehicles in Japan, beginning with testing and validation in 2027.  Read more about our partnership here: waymo.com/blog/2026/10/toyot…   __ 本日、@ToyotaMotorCorpとの自動運転分野における協業を新たな段階へと進めることを発表します。2027年に開始する試験および検証を皮切りに、日本国内で「bZ4X」の自動運転フリートの拡大を進めてまいります。 パートナーシップの詳細はこちらをご覧ください: waymo.com/blog/2026/10/toyot…

The capital of Kazakhstan will get AVs before DC. Let that sink in.

I’m excited for Ojai to scale
Silver looks good on the Ojai. ✨ Introducing the silver Ojai, featuring leatherette seats, wireless charging, and refreshed interior details. Serving riders soon in San Francisco, LA, and Las Vegas, with more cities over time. waymo.com/blog/shorts/silver…

Waymos are really safe (80-95% safer than humans depending on the metric), but they also seem to be getting *safer* over time. This is the worst they'll ever be. A quick analysis of the police-reported crash rates in three cities from Waymo's published safety data.

Do you have AI psychosis if you share a picture of the finished product with the model, or are you just helping them RL in the future

You’re a true Arizonan when you step outside, think “wow it’s so nice out it’s like 70 degrees”, check your phone, and it’s 94

I'm thinking about getting a pinball machine, probably a new Stern like Stranger Things, Godzilla, or Jaws. Anyone in the Twitterverse done this?

i'm just really impressed they managed a CM on a tweet with 13 likes, mainly from bewildered AV people
At least two of the cities where Waymo operates have not experienced declines in traffic-related injuries and deaths. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The article misstates its own data: SF traffic injuries rose from 2,896 to 2,907, which is 0.38%, not 2.6%. Citywide crash totals also do not measure Waymo’s per-mile safety effect without a counterfactual. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/22/way…

Touched grass tonight at a HS football game. Refreshing to see dozens of kids piling into Waymos we did well in a chaotic parking lot. And it was so normal? “Hey who’s Waymo is over here?” “Ours is 6 min away” – at Paradise Valley, AZ

It took a decade of patiently waiting but on Friday night, in a fraction of a second, the Grand Canyon delivered a real-life version of a dream image I’ve had since the day I started photographing the monsoon.

every waymo looks identical on the inside so it's easy for your brain to start treating them as the same exact car that you're pulling out of the ether like the room of requirement
